Software Testing

No one likes glitchy software releases.  They infuriate your users, cripple productivity, and erode your credibility while creating costly, time-consuming rework for your development team.  Like icebergs, undetected defects lurk almost entirely beneath the surface of your projects—and if you don’t spot them ahead of time, the damage they cause can be catastrophic.

For most companies, navigating these treacherous waters is challenging.  Sometimes you’ll make it to release unscathed, but, more often than not, you’ll run into a swath of costly defects.  Without a high-quality software testing team at your disposal, your software projects are at risk of the 3 Perils of Software Development:

Undetected defects can cripple quality and user satisfaction while costing 5 times more to fix during production than in testing

What We Test

What You Get

Onshore Software Testing 

On the surface, offshore outsourcing seems too good to be true.  That’s because it is.  There are numerous hidden costs and pitfalls that can significantly inflate the “low costs” of offshore providers and run your software initiatives into the ground.

 

Hidden expenses like communication issues, security risks, productivity lags, and quality issues cause the total-cost-of-ownership (TCO) of offshore providers to skyrocket—sinking ROI and running software initiatives into the ground.

 

That’s why so many businesses turn to Lighthouse Rural Software Testing—the high-quality alternative to offshore software testing.  Our proprietary sourcing model enables us to field a team of industry-certified software testing professionals located right here in the US—at the same or lower total cost than you’d pay offshore.  When you choose onshoring with Lighthouse, you get a team that collaborates well, attacks problems head-on, and ensures nothing is lost in translation.

High Communication
Our onshore team understands the subtleties in communication.  We listen well and ask probing questions. We not only design, build and execute thorough test cases, but bring ideas to the table to help improve your software product

Improved Productivity
Due to low-turnover of our highly trained staff, onshoring with our US-based teams provides continuity, facilitates cooperation, improves morale (of your team), reduces rework, and expedites problem solving

Painless Management
We are primarily located In the eastern time zone, have strong test leads with excellent communication skills and leadership training, and work with teams primarily in the US, Canada, and Europe

Data Security
Our onshore Testing Center of Excellence keeps your intellectual property in the US, ensuring your assets are protected
